• “No Charge Scheduled Maintenance” is
included on all 9-5 models in the U.S. for
2002. (Also included on all 9-3 SE 5-door
models with the “Premium Package”, all SE
convertibles, and all Viggens.)
• The customer can request the car to be
programmed to an optional level of
customization at the first service.
• Oil level check on manual gearboxes has
been discontinued while check for oil leaks
remains.
• Change of brake and clutch fluid has been
changed from the mileage-based service
interval to a time-based service interval. For
the U.S. market, the new brake and clutch
fluid change interval is 24 months.
• New item where the drain hose to the false
bulkhead space cover must be cleaned on
each service occasion.
• An extended change interval in CA/US for
platinum plugs in B235R engines. The new
interval is 40,000 miles (30,000 miles in other
markets). The extended change interval also
applies to 9-3 models with B205R and B235R
engines.
• Drive belt (multi-groove belt) checked on each
service occasion.
• A new coolant with a life-expectancy of the
car has been introduced during the spring of
2001.
• A maintenance-free battery has been
introduced together with cooling box and new
generator. These additions will greatly
increase battery life expectancy and reduce
evaporation.
The window indicating electrolyte level must
be checked at every service.
- If the indicator is dark, the electrolyte level
is correct.
- If the indicator is clear, i.e. if it reflects the
light like a mirror, the electrolyte level is too
low and the battery must be changed.
